1 by Alain L. Kornhauser, PhD Professor, Operations Research & Financial Engineering Director, Program in Transportation Faculty Chair, PAVE (P Autonomous Vehicle Engineering Princeton University Presented at Inaugural Automated Vehicle Summit @ Fort Monmouth October 3, 2014 Opportunity to Create Well-paying Jobs, Save Lives, Injuries and Family Disruptions, and Make Money by Establishing a World-class Center for Research, Certification and Commercialization of Automated Vehicles (aka SmartDrivingCars)

2 Quality of Life 101: Important Elements Environment – Clean air, water, … Employment – “High Quality” Jobs – Correlated with Crime/Personal Safety Mobility – Safety, Efficiency, Equity, Comfort, Convenience, … Main Premise: – Facilitating the Adoption of Smart Driving Technology: Creates “High Quality” Jobs, Improves Personal Safety Improves Safety, Efficiency, Equity, Comfort, Convenience, … Improves the Environment All for FREE!

7 Early Estimate of Motor Vehicle Traffic Fatalities in 2012

8 We really Need to get to Even though Safety Doesn’t Sell, Some Automakers are Leading the Way Even though Safety Doesn’t Sell, Some Automakers are Leading the Way Up to today: Primarily concerned with safety standards associated with Crash Mitigation (air bags, seat belts, crash worthiness, …) Up to today: Primarily concerned with safety standards associated with Crash Mitigation (air bags, seat belts, crash worthiness, …) http://orfe.princeton.edu/~alaink/SmartDrivingCars/Videos /Subaru%20EyeSight_Commercial60secCrashTest.mp4

9 Preliminary Statement of Policy Concerning Automated Vehicles Extending its vehicle safety standards from Crash Mitigation to Crash Avoidance with Aim at Full Self-Driving Automation Level 0 (No automation) The human is in complete and sole control of safety-critical functions (brake, throttle, steering) at all times. Level 1 (Function-specific automation) The human has complete authority, but cedes limited control of certain functions to the vehicle in certain normal driving or crash imminent situations. Example: electronic stability control Level 2 (Combined function automation) Automation of at least two control functions designed to work in harmony (e.g., adaptive cruise control and lane centering) in certain driving situations. Enables hands-off-wheel and foot-off-pedal operation. Driver still responsible for monitoring and safe operation and expected to be available at all times to resume control of the vehicle. Example: adaptive cruise control in conjunction with lane centering Level 3 (Limited self-driving) Vehicle controls all safety functions under certain traffic and environmental conditions. Human can cede monitoring authority to vehicle, which must alert driver if conditions require transition to driver control. Driver expected to be available for occasional control. Example: Google car Level 4 (Full self-driving automation) Vehicle controls all safety functions and monitors conditions for the entire trip. The human provides destination or navigation input but is not expected to be available for control during the trip. Vehicle may operate while unoccupied. Responsibility for safe operation rests solely on the automated system SmartDrivingCars, Buses & Trucks

10 Preliminary Statement of Policy Concerning Automated Vehicles What the Levels Deliver: Levels 1 -> 3: Increased Safety, Comfort & Convenience Level 4 (Driverless Opportunity) : Efficiency, Equity Revolutionizes “Mass Transit” by enabling the provision of mobility without incurring a Labor Cost Level 4 (Driverless Opportunity) : Efficiency, Equity Revolutionizes “Mass Transit” by enabling the provision of mobility without incurring a Labor Cost There is Fundamental Value Delivered and Need for Research, Certification and Commercialization throughout the evolution from Level 1 through Level 4 There is Fundamental Value Delivered and Need for Research, Certification and Commercialization throughout the evolution from Level 1 through Level 4

12 Why New Jersey? Observation: – Other States are have begun to jump on this… California & Google’s Self-Driving Car Initiative – Turned to focus investment on intelligence automation of the individual vehicle » letting the infrastructure to be optimized for the conventional driver.. Brilliant!! Enables “Start small; grow fast” Florida: Automated car takes test drive on Selmon Expressway Automated car takes test drive on Selmon Expressway Michigan: University of Michigan to build $6.5M track to test automated cars in Ann Arbor University of Michigan to build $6.5M track to test automated cars in Ann Arbor Texas TTI Developing New Automated and Connected Transportation Test Bed TTI Developing New Automated and Connected Transportation Test Bed California NASA, Google announce lease at Ames Research Center Ames NASA, Google announce lease at Ames Research CenterAmes Action Item: – Get New Jersey and the NJ/NY/PA Region nvolved by Leveraging the Ft. Monmouth Facility. Create the Job, Improve mobility safety and the environment. Create the specifications and certifications for Automated Collision Avoidance Technology and eventually driverless vehicles.

15 Why New Jersey? Observation: – NJ Transit and many private companies operate one of the most extensive bus transit systems in the nation The MTA and SEPTA also operate extensive bus transit systems – Average Nationwide Bus Casualty & Liability Expense in 2011 = $8,069/Bus Action Item: – Create the specifications and certifications for Automated Collision Avoidance Technology for buses so as to substantially reduce the expected Bus Casualty & Liability exposure of NJ Transit and the other bus operators in the region and around the country. This suggests a very favorable business opportunity for Bus transit Companies NJ’s and the Regions Bus (and Truck) Operators have vested fiduciary and societal interests in contributing to the achievement of this action item.

16 Why New Jersey? Observation: – New Jersey is the home of NAHQ of: Mercedes, BMW, Subaru, Jaguar, Volvo & Ferrari Action Item: – Create an environment that is conducive for these companies (and others) to successfully: enhance, test and accelerate the adoption of their versions of SmartDrivingCars This suggests a very favorable business opportunity for Car Companies NJ’s Car Manufacturers thus have vested fiduciary and societal interests in contributing to the achievement of this action item.

17 Why New Jersey? Observation: – New Jersey is the home to major Wireless Communications companies: Verizon Wireless, Qualcomm (regional office) – Only persons not engaged in driving should be consuming the services of these companies in a car. – > 80% of the time there is only one person in a car. Communication services to this “80%” market should be restricted to times when “NHTSA Level 3” automation is available. Action Item: – Create the SmartDrivingTechnology that is certified for “NHTSA Level 3” automation for more & more Cars and “Lane-Miles” This creates an evermore favorable business opportunity for Wireless Service Providers. NJ’s Wireless Service Providers thus have vested fiduciary and societal interests in contributing to the achievement of this action item.

18 Why New Jersey? Observation: – New Jersey is the home to major Insurance: Munich Re NA, NJ Manufacturers, Chubb Group, Prudential, Selective Action Item: – Create the Research, Certification & Commercialization Environment : To Develop SmartDrivingTechnology (SDT) such that: SDT Price SDT < NetPresentValue { Expected {AccidentLiability w/o SDT } - Expected {AccidentLiability w SDT } } This suggests a very favorable business opportunity for Insurers NJ’s Insurance Companies thus have vested fiduciary and societal interests in contributing to the achievement of this action item.
